| Reverse description | A fish depicted in left profile occupies the upper register of the field, rendered with naturalistic detail including a visible eye, fins, and scaled body, typical of the Iberian coastal mint iconographic tradition. Below the fish, the field is divided into two horizontal registers by incuse lines: the upper register contains the inscription ILSE and the lower register bears the value mark A, denoting the As denomination. The border consists of a beaded circle enclosing the entire design. |

| Additional information |
Ilse was one of the Iberian minting communities operating under the broad Roman provincial framework in the northeastern Iberian Peninsula, issuing bronze coinage that circulated regionally during a period when Rome was consolidating administrative control following the Punic Wars. The precise civic identity behind the Ilse mint remains debated among Iberian numismatists — the toponym has not been definitively matched to an excavated site.
CNH#1 for this issuer places it at the foundational entry of the series, reflecting its classification among the earliest recognized Ilse emissions.
